True about WiFi. I have recentöy been checking out some places, and got discouranged when reading a review saying the WiFi didn't work for the person writing this review, which he absolutely needed. He had to move somewhere else after for days.
WiFi has to work, if you have to work, indeed.
Rocio's Angry Birds WiFi is free to use without any signing in. It's a long term project. The connection was open a year ago already, covering the city center and all the tourist areas. The project includes widespreading the coverage to more areas in the city.
Having been chronologically denied digital native status, I am glad to have a name for my current condition. Teach in North Carolina and in love in Florida. Class preparation, test grading and such are done on the MacBook Pro (and now presented via an iPad). Along with the iPhone my physical location is transparent to administration and students alike. Kindle and iBook even make toting reference material a breeze. The drive between the Jacksonvilles is contemplation time. Eight hours of good music and thinking. The first drawback was the cost to duplicate my support equipment (Brother 2270 and Apple Router) at her house. The second is missing the free meal at the semi-annual faculty meeting. All in all, a great deal.
I just wrote a blog for UBM's Future Cities Website about... digital nomads and what cities could conceivably do to encourage them. Nicole approved the idea in January, and Mitch's video sparked me to finally write it, so it's posted now.
WiFi is the lifesblood for digital nomads -- unless they are independently wealthy and don't have to work -- so I was wondering about Rovio's WiFi in Helsinki. Is the service widespread in the city and is it for a few months or for the long term?
Your baby steps plan sounds good. This is also a good opportunity to improve time management. I have been working on my time management recently, and I think I have made some progress. As you pointed out, time management is the key. Good luck in the baby steps.
